So Maybe I am slow but why would they put an unsupported SD card slot on there. I am all for it but I don’t see it doing anything so it makes me confused.

The hardware is there for the card slot, just the software library hasn’t been completed yet.

It will be great for storing web pages and content for the ethernet server without having to use up the limited amount of onboard storage provided by the Arduino.

If you don’t mind me asking:
What is an Arduino?

I hear about them a lot on HAD (hack a day) but never figured out what they are from context clues.

It’s a small mammal that is typically found in south america. Lots of people are building hardware and sticking into the backs of these poor creatures causing them pain and forcing them to run their experiments.

You can learn more about them on this secret website that has information about everything on the planet, dont tell anyone, it’s very secret…

so where do you buy this ‘official’ board? Ladyada has something similar:

but it looks pricey. $15 for the shield, $25 for the wiznet module.

So, how long before someone stacks two together and makes a firewall?

A firewall that supports four simultaneous sockets…

@lulz,
He was a bit too harsh. I suggest people abandon anonymity and start be having in a way that they would want their future employers to find on Google. But in fairness, you should always preface a question like yours with, “I’ve done some research on Google, but I’m still a little unsure of…” The hostility is the result of the overwhelming number of people who think they deserve a personalized answer to a common question because Googling is below them. That may not be you, but you want there to be no question.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to use this for data logging? Writing a CSV in FAT would be amazingly helpful. Even if you were to interface with the card in raw mode and write to specific locations. I’ve looked around and I’m stumped.
Help will be much appreciated!

Ouch – it costs more than the Arduino itself! And here I thought I’d try and hack on into my thermostat to web-enable it…

Gotta love how they nonchalantly put an SD card slot in there while being all “I’ll just leave this here…” about it.
